The Marshals were a professional indoor football team based out of Dayton, Ohio. They played their 2007 home games out of Hara Arena
in Dayton, Ohio
, but are more famous for playing as the Cincinnati Marshals at U.S. Bank Arena
for their two seasons before a failed plan to move home games to Wall2Wall Soccer
arena in nearby Mason, Ohio
. The Marshals played their 2004 inaugural season in Waco, TX, as the Waco Marshals.
Despite all this, new coach Tony Wells and quarterback Brett Dietz led the team to the finish of an 8-6 record, which tied them for 2nd in their division with the Dayton Warbirds. In the First round of playoffs they upset the River City Rage, who was ranked first in the same division as the Marshals with the Marshals with 67 points and the Rage with 64 points. In the next playoff round they defeated the Fayetteville Guard 70 to 69. In the Atlantic Conference Championship they had no such luck, falling to the Rome Renegades 51 to 41.
Former Cincinnati Marshals quarterback Brett Dietz is playing in the Arena Football League for the Tampa Bay Storm. He won Co-Rookie of the Year in the AFL for the 2007 season. The Marshals have been mentioned on ESPN when they talk about Dietz career.
A few days after the announced forfeit, it was revealed that Osceola failed to file paperwork so they could advance into the playoffs. Osceola was given a choice: either play Cincinnati in St. Louis with the winner playing the River City Rage the next night, or forfeit the game and allow Cincinnati to advance to play River City. Osceola declined, and Cincinnati was allowed to advance. A few nights later, The Rage defeated the Marshals at Scottrade Center, 43-30, ending the Marshals' season.
had granted a new expansion team to the U.S. Bank Arena
, in the form of the Cincinnati Jungle Kats
. Fortunately, the Marshals will return for 2007. It was originally thought that they were moving to Wall2Wall Soccer
in nearby Mason
for 2007, http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3390097. However, they moved to Hara Arena
in Dayton
for 2007, and changing their name to The Marshals. http://www.niflfootball.com/content/show/49. The announcement was even more of a shock to players and staff, seeing as no formal conference was given, no owner-team meeting was ever held, and all but owner Doug Hortman and his assistant were made to research the information through a short press release on a skeletal form of the Marshal's website, leaving fans irate. This move was similar to the 1983 overnight move of the Baltimore Colts to Indianapolis.
The 2007 season was played, but was not completed in full, due to the collapse of the NIFL. At the time the team was 2-4. Owner Doug Hortman was interviewed by the Dayton Daily News, which gave the following article:
The Marshals have canceled their indoor football game at Hara Arena on Saturday and might not play again this season because of disputes with the National Indoor Football League, owner Doug Hortman said Thursday (May 24). Hortman said the Marshals are leaving the NIFL, which he said has lied to him and other owners about league development and scheduling. Either way, Hortman said, the team will return to the area next season. "We're coming back, that's a promise," Hortman said. "We'll have a lot more time to get the community involved."
This was the same promise Hortman had made when he announced during halftime of the final home game in 2006 that the team would return to Cincinnati in 2007. However, the promise was once again kept unfulfilled, and the team folded along with the league.

. The Marshals played their 2004 inaugural season in Waco, TX, as the Waco Marshals.
History
The Marshals started out as the Waco Marshals in 2004, but finished their inaugural season with a disappointing 2-8 record. For the next season they relocated to Cincinnati and became the Cincinnati Marshals.The 2004 season
The NIFL took over operations mid way through the 2004 season after realizing that the ownership had "floated" a phony check for the franchise and the league had to assume financial burden to a team that had never paid a penny to even join the league due to the fraudulent payment by ownership. The league then agreed to sell the rights to Tony Williams and Manuel Ramos, who was serving as the Defensive Coordinator and Special Teams Coordinator respectively, at the time. Williams and Ramos reign as owners didn't last much longer after it was found that they could not make payments either to the H.O.T. and had bounced employee paychecks, did not pay bills to companies for services and did not have the required insurance for the players; same as their predecessors. Several new players were signed, as the NIFL managed the Marshals for the remainder of the 2004 season.The 2005 season
In 2005 owner H.P. Patterson gave up the team after he did not pay players for well over a month, and then fled the United States after being suspected of money laundering. The mismanagement resulted in the resignation of the team's coach, former Houston Oilers coach Ed Biles, and the dissolution of the Diamond Deputies cheerleading squad, after they claimed weeks of unpaid game checks. In Addition, the Assistant Coach Hubbard Alexander and the Equipment Director Josh Reasoner followed Coach Biles out.Despite all this, new coach Tony Wells and quarterback Brett Dietz led the team to the finish of an 8-6 record, which tied them for 2nd in their division with the Dayton Warbirds. In the First round of playoffs they upset the River City Rage, who was ranked first in the same division as the Marshals with the Marshals with 67 points and the Rage with 64 points. In the next playoff round they defeated the Fayetteville Guard 70 to 69. In the Atlantic Conference Championship they had no such luck, falling to the Rome Renegades 51 to 41.
Former Cincinnati Marshals quarterback Brett Dietz is playing in the Arena Football League for the Tampa Bay Storm. He won Co-Rookie of the Year in the AFL for the 2007 season. The Marshals have been mentioned on ESPN when they talk about Dietz career.
The 2006 season
In the following months, the team's status was left largely undetermined. On December 20, 2005, after many months of speculation, the Marshals announced a return to the NIFL for the 2006 season with a new ownership group led by Doug Hortman and P.J. Conboy, a new coaching staff led by head coach Steve Carpenter and the return of the Diamond Deputies. The team matched their 2005 regular season output, going 8-6 in the season, and clinched the #5 seed in the Atlantic Conference playoffs.2006 Playoffs
The Marshals could not avoid the game of "musical teams" that seemed to doom the league (the consequence of a failed expansion project) even before the playoffs began. Cincinnati's 5th seed was supposed to equal a road trip to a rematch of a late-season loss to Osceola. Osceola, however, commenced a tug-of-war with the league and the Marshals regarding the site of the game. Osceola's home arena was hosting a rodeo the weekend of the first round, and asked Cincinnati to host the game. However, Cincinnati had been thrown out of their arena due to setup for a concert. Osceola offered a compromise, where the Marshals would travel to Lakeland, Florida, but team ownership shot down the idea and forfeited the game.A few days after the announced forfeit, it was revealed that Osceola failed to file paperwork so they could advance into the playoffs. Osceola was given a choice: either play Cincinnati in St. Louis with the winner playing the River City Rage the next night, or forfeit the game and allow Cincinnati to advance to play River City. Osceola declined, and Cincinnati was allowed to advance. A few nights later, The Rage defeated the Marshals at Scottrade Center, 43-30, ending the Marshals' season.

On October 18, 2006, it was announced that the af2Af2
AF2 was the name of the Arena Football League's developmental league; it was founded in 1999 and played its first season in 2000. Like parent AFL, the AF2 played using the same arena football rules and style of play. League seasons ran from April through July with the postseason and ArenaCup...
